This lively San Francisco staple pairs a dim sum-style service with seasonal California cooking, creating a dining experience that is as much about motion and choice as it is about the food itself. Plates circulate continuously on carts, inviting diners to build their meal in real time, mixing smaller bites with more substantial dishes as they pass. The menu changes often, but the through line is thoughtful, well-crafted cooking that balances comfort and creativity. Dumplings, savory pancakes, liver mousse and other small plates make appearances along the way, designed to be shared and sampled rather than followed in strict order. The room is energetic and social, and reservations can be difficult to secure, especially on busy nights.
